...there were only twelve men on the ice, no regular game was played. The work consisted entirely of opposing the first team forwards to the scrub team, which was strengthened by the University backs. Besides allowing the scrub team to score repeatedly, the University forwards were unable to get even within striking distance of their opponents' goal, except once when they made their only score. The passing was slow and easily intercepted, while the few attempts at shooting that were made were low and inaccurate...
...Saturday night by the score of 20 to 15. This was the second game of the western trip. The game was clean and fast throughout. The work of the team was much better than in the Cornell game on Friday, but the ability of the Schenectady team to get the jump at centre served to keep the ball well in Harvard territory.

We get surprisingly good men, as Dean Briggs has said, but we leave the chance open for incompetents, and sometimes we get them. Our system offers great rewards for one bold political "hold-up" in the Freshman year, and usually it is tried and sometimes it succeeds. Worst of all, if the class has a well-grounded dissatisfaction over any class officer, opposition to his re-election cannot be organized without dragging into the discussion personalities which must be distasteful to everybody. It is largely because of this that...
